Can artificial intelligence detect type 2 diabetes in women by evaluating the pectoral muscle on tomosynthesis: diagnostic study

ConclusionOur study presented a pioneering approach, applying deep learning for the detection of diabetes mellitus status in women using pectoral muscle images and was found to function with an accuracy rate of 92%.Critical relevance statementAI can differentiate pathological changes within pectoral muscle tissue by assessing radiological images and maybe a potential diagnostic tool for detecting diabetes mellitus and other diseases that affect muscle tissues.Key points• AI may have an opportunistic use as a screening exam for diabetes during digital breast tomosynthesis.• This technique allows for early and non-invasive detection of diabetes mellitus by AI.• AI may have broad applications in detecting pathological changes within muscle tissue.Graphical Abstract
